I agree it's fustrating that DL's more willing to make seasonal adjustments to DTW & MSP in order not to sacrifice ATL, but MSP's peak Florida service has remained largely unchanged since pre-merger:

MSP, Winter 2008 (pre-merger)
MCO: 319, 320, 757, 3x753
TPA: 320, 2x757, 753
MIA: 3x320
FLL: 2x320, 757
RSW: 2x320, 757, 753

MSP, Winter 2013
MCO: 5x753
TPA: 3x320, M90
MIA: 2x320
FLL: 2x320, 757
RSW: 2x757, 2x753
